Hi,
My question is, after installation, spamassassin service file is not
available in the location /etc/init.d/spamassassin. Because of this
'service spamassassin start' says "spamassassin: unrecognized service".
What could be the reason for spamassassin service file missing after
installation? Because this service file is not automatically installed as
part of installation, I've little doubt/fear/confusion whether it would
create any other implications during course of usage.
NOTE:
1. I'm installing as 'root' user here.
2. Also, I've installed this on RHEL4 and RHEL5, but I don't find this issue
(missing spamassassin service file).
3. I also tried to copy the 'spamassassin' service file from one of my RHEL5
to this CentOS. It is working fine.

Appears you are implying this init.d script existed, then was removed
after installation which does not make sense to me.
1.Determine the spamassassin package name. ( rpm -gvf
$some_spamassassin_file )
2. Then rpm -qvl $package name
Does it show an init script?
OpenSuse uses spamd.
Also note that Redhat wrote the rpm and it is up to them to determine
what is included. I have seen more than one broken or incomplete package
in my career.
